I won't quote it here, but it's an etiquette policy, basically saying
"respect other people", which is a good idea. After looking around the
net, though, it is definitely _not_ a harassment policy...so I thought
about it like this: If the question comes up as often as it does,
there must be a reason behind it, which means that we need to work to
make sure that everyone feels welcome while at the same time letting
everyone know that NONE of our members should feel harassed.
Curiously, this policy refers to
5. INCLUSIVE: Attacking people in a personal way, for example: about
their race, beliefs, gender, sexual preferences, choice of technology,
and any and all other personal attacks will not be tolerated.
I suggest the Board might have meant "sexual orientation" not "sexual
preferences". To suggest that orientation is a preference is ironically
disrespectful :)
